Infrastructure

Eko Atlantic will raise the standards of infrastructure in Lagos to sophisticated levels through a finely-structured urban plan that creates a balanced, environmentally friendly and efficient blueprint for a comfortable, healthy, safe and efficient style of life. Each of the seven districts of Eko Atlantic will display their own unique characteristics, but the infrastructural design will be standard throughout the city. Investors who buy land can develop their plots in accordance with Eko Atlantic’s General Regulations and Specific Regulations for each of the seven districts to ensure that infrastructural development is well coordinated. An eight-lane coastal highway will run along the northern boundary of Eko Atlantic while a hundred kilometre internal network of roads will connect all districts. A tramway system will also circulate through the city enabling commuters to access all areas including public transport on Victoria Island. A ferry transfer terminal, where passengers will change from regional river craft to Eko’s own transport systems, including twenty kilometres of internal waterway, will add further value to the infrastructural concept. A purpose-built island for Eko Atlantic will accommodate utility services: an electricity generating plant and water management for drinking and irrigation, as well as sewage control. Self-sufficient in power and vital telecommunications, Eko Atlantic also includes a pedestrian and transport strategy that is designed to reduce road use, minimize traffic congestion and create off-street parking for all vehicles: intelligent city planning that ensures success.
